Though the event was held during a chilly rain shower, that didn’t stop many families from arriving promptly at 11 a.m. to say goodbye to 2018 and welcome a new year. Kids and parents from Glencoe and surrounding communities arrived in their sparkliest attire, and a few even donned their best dinosaur costumes. Partygoers were greeted with freshly popped popcorn and a table full of colorful hats, tiaras, streamers, noisemakers and other New Year’s staples that they could use for the festivity, which lasted until 12:30 p.m. The gymnasium thumped with music from a DJ, and families danced together to songs ranging from Disney tunes to Justin Timberlake hits, with a few party songs like the “Chicken Dance” thrown in for fun. Many grandparents joined in on the dancing, while some other younger partygoers opted to simply run around in a game of chase instead. “It’s just a fun way to celebrate New Year’s without having to stay up until midnight,” said Liz Visteen, program manager for special events at Glencoe Park District. Itty Bitty New Year has been held for the last several years, and this year registration was filled before Dec. 31, as has been the case for a few of the past years. “This is the third year we’ve come,” said Laura Bromwich, of Glencoe, who appreciated the opportunity to celebrate at a kid-friendly hour. Her 5-year-old also especially looks forward to the balloon drop. Reporting by Christine Adams, Freelance Reporter. Full story at GlencoeAnchor.com. THE WINNETKA CURRENT Library’s kid-friendly new years party ‘a staple event’ The Winnetka Public Library held its annual Noon Years Eve party on Dec. 28, inviting children and families from the community to celebrate the holiday early. The event, which lasted from the kid-friendly hour of 11 a.m. until noon, featured music, activities and books all centered on the theme of “International New Years,” and even closed the party with a casual countdown. “It’s one of my favorite programs of the year,” Youth Services Librarian Amanda Garrity said. “Kids don’t usually get to traditionally celebrate New Year’s, and it’s nice to see both our regulars and new faces here.” Stationed throughout the youth section were fact sheets about New Year’s celebrations throughout the world, including in Spain, Ecuador, Scotland, Russia and Jordan. Craft tables gave kids the chance to make their own noisemakers by filling plastic eggs with rice, or to do an art project using bright cupcake liners and colored rice on black paper to make fireworks. A baby-friendly area spread out blankets scattered with balls, cups and sound-making rain sticks, creating a fun place to crawl while older siblings colored or played with library toys geared towards bigger kids. Books in the “how-to” genre on display encouraged kids to resolve to learn new hobbies and skills in the coming year. Families ate popcorn and grapes with seltzer water to complete the party-like atmosphere. While in the past patrons were asked to register for Noon Years Eve and the size was limited to 50 people, this year no registration was required and the crowd swelled close to 100. “We decided to do no registration to be more welcoming this year,” youth associate Natalie Roche said. “It’s nice to get people in who don’t come as often.” Reporting by Christine Adams, Freelance Reporter.

The Wilmette environmental artist and painter invites everyone to become actively involved in doing something to preserve the earth’s future. Whitehouse founded the global SkyDay Project, which started in 2013. It is a citizen artwork project for anyone who has access to a camera. It is not political. The goal is to combine art and science in creative ways that enable communities to come up with practical ways to think about the sky around them and consider how what they do affects it and the earth’s present and future resources. “I challenge everyone to think in new ways about their relationship to the sky,” Whitehouse said. “I want people to work at building a global community that aims to protect our sky for everyone’s benefit. The Go Green Wilmette organization is partnering with the SkyDay Project to get people connected to the environment in a positive way. Those who want to participate in the SkyDay Project simply photograph the sky, but nothing else, and upload photos through the SkyDay Project website and select the Go Green Wilmette group.
